Leftism
Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

whoever downvoted this post, i hope you realize how petty you look.
You said "i'm sorry about that" when I said I'm a Marxist-Leninist, but this is a "one-stop shop" for leftism. Marxism-Leninism works in Cuba, China, DPRK, Vietnam, Laos, but the prevailing leftist ideology isn't allowed in the leftist sub?
What is "works" in this sense, if you don't mind me asking? Like what are your expectations? What is your tolerance for suffering? I'm just curious. I know where I am (none of those places) has plenty of suffering as well. We moreso have the illusion of choice ftmp. I would like to understand why those examples you gave are your high watermark for governance.
do you think i take authoratarian state capitalism seriously? i mean i still will let you post here, even if i dissagree with your ideology.
Tankie is too vague. Please define so that everyone knows what's allowed.
Is defending existing socialist/communist states being a tankie or does it require defending or erasing the horrors that those states have perpetuated required?
Edit: I'm neurodivergent and seriously need help with the term, not performing some sort of bullshit mind games crap.
This is a good definition of tankie "A Tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves “socialist”. The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union."
